Mike……

The England team is out for Saturday. I’m sure plenty here will be pleased to see Pollock out there from the start ! ;)

Very happy to see him start, it's about time.

Hopefully he’ll have a good game.

ENGLAND – 15 Freddie Steward, 14 Tommy Freeman, 13 Ollie Lawrence, 12 Fraser Dingwall, 11 Henry Arundell, 10 George Ford, 9 Alex Mitchell, 8 Henry Pollock, 7 Ben Earl, 6 Tom Curry, 5 Ollie Chessum, 4 Maro Itoje (c), 3 Joe Heyes, 2 Luke Cowan-Dickie, 1 Ellis Genge. Bench: 16 Jamie George, 17 Bevan Rodd, 18 Trevor Davison, 19 Alex Coles, 20 Guy Pepper, 21 Sam Underhill, 22 Jack van Poortvliet, 23 Marcus Smith.

"Very happy to see him start, it's about time."

Ja, me to... he's a competitor and I think his youthful exuberance and competitive nature are being misconstrued as arrogance...and the blond mop, although not nearly the same, reminds me of Schulk.

I don't know why the rugby fraternity is so scared about personalities or exuberance. We saw the same with Percy until late in his career, same now with Marcus Smith. The moment you get a bit flashy, do your hair a little different, wear different coloured shoes, there's a big conformist crowd in the game that just start shitting themselves non-stop.

I have a very high opinion of Pollock. He still has some isnatnces where he lose ot - but that will be eliminated by experience, Think that guy has everything to end up bein g the captan of England in years to come.

That’s nice to hear, Mike.

Let’s just hope he fulfills his promise:)

One swallow doesn't make a summer neither does one player win you a match. Not even Dan Carter on his best day could do that.

I think England should just put the core of the Northampton team out their. Pollock, Fin Smith etc.

Those guys have amazing skills and can turn a game on its head.

Don't think Borthwick can coach beyond Leicester and Ford. He doesn't have the brain cells

Have you watched the Stompies this season?

Same happened with Skinstat.

Oh good old Percy :) I named one of my cats after him !

Not sure I’ll name anything Pollock :)
